Four Days Wonder is a 1933 comedy novel by the British writer A.A. Milne. Jenny, the heroine of the story, is an 18 year old orphan, who spends her life daydreaming. Her mind is occupied with an imaginary conversation when she absent-mindedly walks into her old home, now let to a respectable, middle-aged couple. Jenny finds, on the floor, the body of her long-lost Aunt Jane, and suddenly realises that she is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
